[165.06] Radio Continuum Emission from Hot Molecular Cores

Hot molecular cores (HMCs) are one of the earliest
observable phase of massive star formation, possibly
containing massive protostellar objects which are still in
the accreting phase. Here we present results from recent VLA
observations of subarcsecond angular resolution and
sub-milliJy sensitivity toward 3 HMCs. Compact radio
continuum emission was detected for all target sources at
several frequencies. We present images and cm SEDs for these
sources and investigate the physical nature of the continuum
sources.
